Patient's question:
I'm only 21 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: How to identify whether you have balanitisDoctor's answer:
Generally, patients with prostatitis often have varying degrees of balanitis, as prostatitis can lead to excessive secretion of prostatic fluid, which adheres to the surface of the glans. You currently have balanitis, but it is atypical, primarily characterized by redness, swelling, and white discharge at the urethral meatus. This is likely due to urethral inflammation or prostatitis as the underlying cause. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is usually long, and the condition tends to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
